Just 1 solitary swimmer so far today. The Creevy swim was cancelled because the icy pier would be dangerous and a text to one of them inviting them to swim in Rossnowlagh got the answer: brrrr...too cold.

So here are my pictures of the Rossnowlagh swim 2010 and it's -6 degrees this morning.

Tuesday, 21 December 2010

The sea is flat with a force 2 southeasterly offshore breeze. Air temperature -3C. And I was a day ahead yesterday looking for winter solstice, and the lunar eclipse which was this morning but hidden by cloud in Rossnowlagh. Full moon is also today, 3 cosmic occasions on 1 day. Is it a record of some sort?
